ICGEB celebrates its first 30 years of research

This year, ICGEB celebrates thirty years of activity dedicated to international advanced research and training in the life sciences.

The occasion has been marked by hard work, but also with a convivial celebration during ICGEB’s 22nd Annual Symposium on 20 and 21 June 2017; two intense days during which young, dedicated researchers present their projects and results to colleagues and Group Leaders.

The scientific programme included valuable Keynote Speeches by three Principal Investigators from ICGEB New Delhi: Pawan Malhotra, Neel Sarovan Bhavesh e Dhiraj Kumar; further cementing the strong scientific and cultural ties across the ICGEB International community.

The social programme included the 5th edition of the ICGEB Fun Run, a non-competitive, open track race that takes place on the Karst surrounding the Science Park. This year, a record number of 150 participants took part in the event. On the second day of the Symposium, the Director-General, Prof. Mauro Giacca, inaugurated the ICGEB Teaching Lab, dedicated to outreach activities of the ICGEB, including school and university visits and open days for the lay public. The traditional barbecue ensued and cheerfully concluded the festivities with a cake celebrating thirty extraordinary years of activity.
